"DEAN RESIGNS CBC POST"
As a former student at California Baptist College, I
was saddened by the recent resignation of Walt Grubb.
Walt Grubb served CBC in probably more positions
than anyone else in the school's history. As a student in
the early seventies, he performed the tasks of resident
assistant, editor of the Banner and ASB President.
Anyone that has held just one of those positions can
testify to the demands that each intell.
After graduating from CBC, Walt went on to serve as
a teacher and administrator at Riverside Christian High
School. Before serving his last two-plus years at CBC as
Dean of Student .Life, Walt was director of admissions.
Perhaps due to his experience as a student here or just
his knowledge of what is right, Walt knew better and
defended student's rights more than any other administrator at Cal Baptist. Some would argue that it was
part of Walt's job to do so, but he always went "above
and beyond the call of duty."
Few realize how Walt truly stood up for the students
of CBC. I attended more than one administrative council meeting that Walt and I were the only two arguing
for the importance of the students at CBC.
Walt, on top of his administrative duties, also served
as advisor to the ASB executive council for the past
three years.
Budget Deficit
But perhaps the most outstanding quality about Walt
was his ability to communicate and to care. He always
had an open door and ear to listen to student problems,
no matter how minor or major. You could always depend on an honest answer from Walt.
Due to the difficult decisions and position he held
Walt had to take disciplinary actions against some
students. But if you were to ask those same students
years later most would tell you that they were treated
fairly and Walt had made the right choice in his
discipline of them.
Besides all of the other qualities listed above, Walt
was one of the few administrators who attended ASB-
sponsored events. Concerts, movies, and revivals, along
with athletic events, were always on Walt's agenda.
Thanks for sharing and caring, Walt. Thanks for supporting not only me personally, but all those who asked
for or needed support at CBC. Without a doubt, CBC
has just lost its best administrator. Those of us who truly know you love you and will always appreciate you,
Walt.
Sincerely,
Tom Phillips

A memo to the faculty and staff
of CBC.
Most of the College
Trustees received their copy of
the audit for last year in
yesterday's mail. I am
therefore able to share with
you in more detail than in my
memo of 9/16/83. Because we
changed our fiscal year from
June 1 to July 1, the official
report from the auditors came
in two parts: an audit for one
month, June, 1982; and an
audit for twelve months, July
1, 1982 to June 30, 1983.
The essential figures, devoid
of analysis, are as follows:
The one month audit dated
June 1982 shows a deficit of
$113,460.
The twelve month audit
dated June 1983 shows a
deficit of $208,603.
Both of these figures combined with the deficit from the
previous year of $229,647
yield an accumulated deficit of
$551,710.
Such large deficit figures
(which exceeded any of our
anticipations) have created
great concern on our part and
on the part of our Board
leadership. As we get the complete audit details, we will be
working on an analysis of the
specific areas which were over-
budget last year. The general
audit statement does make it
clear that most areas of the
colleges had expenditures
which exceeded budgeted
amounts.
I know that the size of the
dollar figures and statements
such as the preceding one tend
to produce alarm. This seems
unavoidable in the present
situation. What is happening
and where does the College go
from here?
A special meeting of two
Trustee Committees: the Executive Committee and the
Business Affairs Committee,
•
has been called for early in October. The Administration will
have for them an analysis of
last year's problem and some
recommendations for dealing
with the deficit. This will involve a careful look at our current budget. We cannot "wait
until next year" to attack the
problem.
The Trustee Committees will
be working on recommendations which would be discussed at the full Board of
Trustees meeting, November
4-5, 1983.
Please know that our mood
is concern, not panic, and that
our method will be action not
acceptance. Our Board Chairman, Dr. James Morton who
is fully informed about the
situation, wrote the following
words:
"First, I want to affirm my
appreciation for all of you
people who have worked hard
and faithfully for the College.
I know you are very disappointed in the outcome of the
audit. Rather than getting
down on ourselves or on other
people, let's stick to the
problems and their solution. I
believe we are about to do
that, and we will do it."
I believe this spirit is a good
model for us all.

WHAT'S
HAPPENING
TONIGHT in the Van Dyne
Fieldhouse performing for the
Annual Fall Concert will be
Andrus Blackwood & Co. The
concert starts at 7:00 p.m. and
costs $1.00 with CBC ID.
Come on out for a great
evening.
An Open Letter to
the Students of CBC
Farewell letters have never
come easy for me, especially
when they are addressed to
someone who has given me as
much as you. But, since I have
made the decision to resign
from my position of Dean of
Student Life, I would like to
write a few words to you about
that decision and express my
appreciation for your support
and friendship.
I will be leaving CBC to
work as a teacher and
counselor in a private school
in Riverside. This is a position
that will enable me to move in
the direction of licensing as a
Marriage, Family and Child
Counselor, which is my goal. I
am excited and challenged by
the work I will be doing.
As I go, I take a part of you
with me and hope I have
touched some of your lives as
you have touched mine. Your
relationships have made the
decision a real dilemma for
me. I value these relationships
and can say you have been a
major part of what is good in
life for me.
I hope you will always consider me your friend and will
call on me if I can help you in
any way. I will remember you
in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Walter Grubb
